The words of a song come to my mind, I don't know who wrote it, but I think Kathy Triccoli sings it.

ANOTHER SOLDIER’S COMING HOME
1.
HIS BACK IS BENT AND WEARY
HIS VOICE IS TIRED AND LOW
AND HIS STEPS HAVE GOTTEN SLOW
AND HE USED TO WALK ON WATER
OR IT SEEMED THAT WAY TO ME
I KNOW HE MOVED SOME MOUNTAINS
AND HE NEVER LEFT HIS KNEES

CHO
STRIKE UP THE BAND ASSEMBLE THE CHOIR
ANOTHER SOLDIER’S COMING HOME
ANOTHER WARRIER HEAR’S THE CALL
HE’S WAITED FOR SO LONG
HE’LL BATTLE NO MORE HE’S WON THE WARS
MAKE SURE HEAVEN’S TABLE HAS ROOM
FOR AT LEAST ONE MORE
SING A WELCOME SONG
ANOTHER SOLDIER’S COMING HOME

2.
HE FACED THE WINDS OF SORROW
BUT HIS HEART KNEW NO RETREAT
HE WALKED IN NARROW PLACES
KNOWING CHRIST KNEW NO DEFEAT
BUT NOW HIS STEPS TURN HIM HOMEWARD
SO MUCH CLOSER TO THE PRIZE
HE’S SOUNDING KIND OF HOMESICK
AND THERE’S A LONGING IN HIS EYES
